The Probation Officers in these two newly created positions will participate in our County's Advisory Council Against Domestic Violence,work with domestic violence treatment providers to assure high standards, and receive special training in all issues related to domestic violence throughout the corning year. I would like to express my appreciation to my staff members who worked diligently on the grant proposal,Probation Manager Roy Rochelle,Probation Supervisor Jim Heiser and Administrative Services Officer Jim Morphy.
